Method for Making Three Fruit Jam
First, wash the apples, carrots, and beetroots thoroughly and peel them. Then grate these fruits using a fine grater. Next, choose a suitable pot for cooking the jam and layer the grated fruits with sugar in the pot. Sprinkle a little sugar on each layer of fruit.
Cover the pot and place it in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the fruits to release their juices. After an hour, take the pot out of the refrigerator and place it on high heat. Allow the jam to come to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat. Now give it an hour to cook on low heat and thicken.
After this time, add the lemon juice, rosewater, and cardamom powder to the jam and stir well. At this stage, do not cover the pot and let the jam simmer on low heat for another 20 minutes. When the jam reaches the desired thickness and starts to bubble, turn off the stove.
Let the jam cool in the pot, then pour it into dry, clean jars. The prepared jam can be stored in the refrigerator or a cool place.
Important Tips for Making Jam
- Use dry and clean jars for storing the jam.
